I'm so sorry to see the mist....

I can't sleep again and start thinking about it...

After reading the ending, I feel very empty... It turns out that despair is more shocking than death. In the face of danger and despair, the ignorance of some people and the annihilation of humanity are more than monsters. horrible. At the end, after they drove out, the sights they could see along the way, (including his wife), were enough to make a person's belief completely collapse, and after finding himself escaped, he was still trapped in this fog. His quiet handling was more heart-wrenching than any previous tense and exciting fight.

What makes me sigh is that no matter how brave and decisive David and the protagonists were before, they couldn't hold on even a little bit in the end, because they didn't come to a completely desperate situation. (Of course if it was a happy ending, it might not have been so heavy to think...)

Of course, we can't evaluate whether david's final choice was right or wrong, because under the circumstances, if the monster was not subsided, Suicide is indeed the easiest way. And the movie shows another ending, which is the most hopeless ending.

Ps, I personally think that david also has no right to kill his son (the other three acquiesce), although this seems to be a kind of termination that has no way out.

    [B+] This ending is really painful, painful in various senses, I think I will never encounter a movie more painful than it...

    Survival or destruction. This is not just a problem that faith can solve. Who can predict the outcome in advance.
